I had thought about setting up my large format film camera for the shot, but I don't have anywhere near the telephoto reach that I do with my digital zoom. An then there is the developing, and the scanning, and any adjustments that would be needed, etc. Digital is so much faster although it still cannot hold a candle to large format film. I didn't know about that relationship between solar and lunar eclipses either. Nice thing to know. Fahrusha, Thanks.

I watched as it happened and I was thrilled to see a shooting star just above the moon shortly before the eclipse was full. A fact I didn't know previously is that a solar eclipse always occurs two weeks after or two weeks before a total lunar eclipse. This is a really fine photo of the lunar eclipse.

I'm quite pleased with the photo. Interestingly I've had three requests for permission to use the image. Brightfeather, thanks for the information. I didn't know that about lunar and solar eclipses.

Brightfeather, thanks for the information. I didn’t know that about lunar and solar eclipses.
